I thought I would share this with any FMP subscribers who didn't know about this! (maybe I am the only one)
I discovered by accident that a 'Search All Records' may not include searching the Special collections. In particular I was searching for a marriage, which I found some time ago on FMP, in order to check some details, and I couldn't locate it with a general search. Fortunately I had recorded the source details and I so I accessed the special collection "Sowerby Bridge Marriages" and found it immediately.
Does anyone know if there is a way to ensure that a general BMD and Parish search does also search all the appropriate special collections?
